Hopefully I can keep an eye out on this and get some tickets before they sell out. I'll have my GT4 by then and I think this actually coincides with the timeshare I have in Monterey so it would be perfect.

Would love to get a Spyder group together to ride up to Monterey from SoCal or just meet and greet at cannery row. So far in advance right now that there is actually a chance to get tix and reservations at a proper hotel or whatever. Cannot Wait. Hoping I have a new Porsche by then.

I am VERY disappointed in Porsche Cars North America.
This is supposed to be an event for All Porsche enthusiasts.
“California and Porsche are a dream pairing, and the Monterey Peninsula is an ideal spot to bring the two together for an unforgettable weekend with so much happening both on and off the track” said Kjell Gruner, President and CEO of Porsche Cars North America Inc. “Rennsport Reunion is for everyone"
Tell this to the guy from Miami who would have to travel 44 hours (2,973 miles) to attend. Or someone from from Boston who has to travel 47 hr (3,194 miles) to attend.
Having this in California is not inclusive. There are lots of tracks such as Road America, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, or Circuit of the Americas that would at least be somewhat centrally located in the US, and have the same level of facilities and infrastructure as Laguna Seca. Alienating more than half of your enthusiasts is not a way to increase your sales or business.
Just my $.02.

Porsche knows what they are doing regarding the venue... more owners in California than in any other state.

Proper Hotel and Parking for the cars is my concern. Any information would be appreciated. Going to be great! Right now I'm eyeing cannery row and the Intercontinental hotel but I need more information. Reservations are usually a year out?

There were no block out dates for these options. Got lucky, found a place very close to the track and big enough to accommodate our group (6 cars).
